Land Department. Any additional work will be paid for by PPI on a
100% basis. PPI will have the right to acquire the remaining 25%
interest by paying Mesa $100,000 cash or PPI stock equivalent. Mesa

for US $300,000.
About the Holbrook Potash Project
The Holbrook Basin is known to contain a 600 square mile potash
bed in the Permian Supai Formation as documented by the Arizona
Geological Survey (AGS) Open File Report 08-07. The potash bed was
drilled and delineated in the 1960s and 1970s by Duvall Corporation
and Arkla Exploration. Due to low potash prices in the 1970's the
Holbrook Basin potash bed was not developed after discovery. Below
